The Wacker Neuson Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD27-100 and RD27-120 hydrostatic vibratory tandem rollers. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the exact dimensional tolerances required for proper installation, ensuring correct spacing and alignment within the assembly. This shim is a critical precision component — using the correct part number is essential to maintaining the mechanical integrity of the roller's drivetrain or drum system.
Key Features
- Exact OEM Dimensional Tolerance — Manufactured to the precise thickness specification required for correct mechanical clearance and load distribution in this application.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Part number 5000161848 installs in the same position as the original, with no fitting adjustments needed during reassembly.
- Confirmed RD27 Series Fitment — Verified for RD27-100 and RD27-120 hydrostatic vibratory tandem rollers, covering multiple machine configurations within the RD27 family.
- Preserves Drivetrain Alignment — A correctly sized shim maintains proper component spacing, preventing premature wear on adjacent bearings, gears, or drive components.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, ensuring the part meets the original design specification for the RD27 platform.
A shim is a thin, precisely machined spacer used to fill small gaps or adjust the alignment and clearance between mating components in a mechanical assembly. In a tandem roller such as the RD27, shims are commonly used within drivetrain, drum bearing, or hydrostatic system assemblies to set exact tolerances during build or rebuild. Using a shim of incorrect thickness — even fractionally — can lead to misalignment, accelerated wear, or premature failure of the surrounding components, making it essential to replace like-for-like with the correct OEM-specified part.
